IMsCensus2Transform.SigmaLower

Fore Syntax

SigmaLower: Double;

Fore.NET Syntax

SigmaLower: double;

Description

The SigmaLower property determines a lower sigma limit.

Comments

Most of real time series include outliers. They can distort seasonality and trend estimations. The X11 method enables the user to reduce outliers influence by excluding the values that lie outside the specified range or by converting these values. Range width is set by the lower and the upper sigma limits (IMsCensus2Transform.SigmaUpper).

Fore Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a modeling container with the MS identifier and a time series database with the TSDB identifier. The modeling container must include a model with the MODEL_CENSUS2 identifier.

Add links to the Cubes, Dimensions, Metabase, Ms, Stat system assemblies.

After executing the example new parameters for X11 method calculation are set for the MODEL_CENSUS2 model, the input and output variables are determined. The model is calculated, the data is unloaded to the specified variables.
